BDE terminal for paperless manufacturing

Record and control operating data—transparently, accurately, and in real time. With our GRAIDWARE BDE Terminal, you can keep track of components, batches, and processes at all times and enable digital, paperless production.

Why is accurate operational data collection so crucial?

In modern manufacturing environments, the demands for transparency, quality, and adherence to deadlines are increasing. However, many companies struggle with typical problems:

Manual paperwork, Excel lists, and media discontinuity when transferring data to the ERP system

Lack of traceability of batches and components

Delays in approvals or rework

Incorrect and incomplete documentation

The result: high coordination costs, increasing error rates, and, in the worst case, delays for the customer.

The GRAIDWARE BDE Terminal – Paperless and efficient recording of operating data

Our GRAIDWARE BDE Terminal is specially designed to collect operating data directly at the workplace. Using modern identification technologies such as RFID or QR codes, each component is uniquely identified and its status documented throughout its entire life cycle.

Typical areas of application
  • Goods receipt
  • Assembly
  • Rework
  • Quality assurance

Whether discrete manufacturing with individual parts or process manufacturing with parameter monitoring, the terminal ensures complete documentation and easy operation.

Overview of important functions of the BDE terminal

[Translate to English:] QR Code
Automatic identification

Recognition of components via RFID or QR code – unique assignment without manual input.

[Translate to English:] Icon Status
Real-time status update

OK, NOK, blocked – status changes are recorded immediately and reported back to the ERP system.

[Translate to English:] Icon Fehler
Guided error detection

In the event of rework or rejects, the terminal guides the operator step by step through a defined error structure, including marking of error zones.

[Translate to English:] Icon Freigabe
Authorized approvals

Blocking and unblocking can be controlled on a role basis (e.g., by foremen).

[Translate to English:] Integration
Integration into existing systems

Automatic transfer of data to ERP, MES, or other third-party systems.

[Translate to English:] Visualisierung
Visualization of KPIs

Custom dashboards on terminals or mobile devices, e.g., for OEE metrics.

Ensure quality and avoid subsequent errors

With the GRAIDWARE BDE Terminal, paper documentation is a thing of the past. Instead, all relevant data is captured digitally and stored centrally.

 

Your advantages:

  • Paperless quality assurance without media discontinuity
  • Immediate transfer of information to all systems
  • Blocking function for critical batches or components
  • Prevention of follow-up errors through clear release structures
  • Quick overview of the status and history of each component

Maintenance and efficiency at a glance – OEE integration

The terminal can be supplemented with the GRAIDWARE OEE component. This allows you to measure and visualize overall equipment effectiveness directly in the production environment:

  • Manual recording of downtime such as breaks or maintenance
  • Automatic transfer of messages from the plant control system (PLC)
  • Link to quality data per part
  • Evaluation of cycle times and shift models
  • Display of all KPIs directly on the machine or at the terminal

Typical areas of application

Discrete manufacturing
Process manufacturing
  • Individual parts are clearly identified and monitored
  • Batch tracking and status posting throughout the entire process will be

Use case: Quality inspection with RFID-supported production data acquisition system

At an automotive supplier, energy consumption measurement terminals with RFID technology were integrated directly into the workstations. The solution ensures that each component can be clearly identified and supports workers in their quality assessments.

Production process sequence:
Preparation

The worker places the bumper on the workbench.

Identification

The component is automatically identified via an RFID antenna.

Display and instructions

The following information appears on the terminal:
o Product and product type
o Target quantity
o Step-by-step instructions for the worker

Quality assessment directly at the terminal:
  • Classification of each component as OK, not OK, or repair
  • Missing parts or repairs are automatically excluded from the next production step
    • For not OK or repair:
    • Display of a product image with a grid on which the worker can mark the location of the defect
    • Option for multi-level defect recording
Benefits for the company:
[Translate to English:] Icon Analysen
Basis for Pareto analyses and further quality evaluations
[Translate to English:] Prozesssicherheit
Increased process reliability and lower error rate
[Translate to English:] Rückverfolgbarkeit
End-to-end traceability of every component
[Translate to English:] Dokumentation
Accurate documentation of faults and repairs
